What I can offer you is a high energy performance proven to hold audiences, a professional show( no books, no sitting on the chair, etc.) a proven repertoire, consisting of several original compositions, which has stood the test of many international audiences, self-promotion, and reliability(on time starts). I offer my own sound system as well.
